Teaser Tuesday/Sci-Fi Month!! These Broken Stars, by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

Welcome to "Teaser Tuesday"!!


This meme is hosted by  Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker every week, and the rules are very simple.

RULES

* Grab you current read.

*Open to a random page.

*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere

on that page.

*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!

(Make sure that what you share doesn't

give too much away! You don't want

to ruin the book for others!)

*Share the title and author, too, so that other

TT participants can add the book to their

TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


Note
Since I'm a slow reader, I don't have a new book
started every week. I am therefore going
 to bend the rules a little.....
I'll be featuring books I want to read,
that are currently sitting on my shelves. 
I've also made the teasers a bit longer
than stated in the rules above.

Today I'm also linking up to 
Sci-Fi Month!!  
This is an exciting event, hosted by 

Lisa @ Dear Geek Place 

and imyril @ onemore.org!!

For more information, and to 
join in, please refer 
to my Announcement Post
for this event!!

Here are my teasers!

The morning stretches into a frigid, never-ending drizzle as we head for the river he spotted from higher ground. The mountains we're aiming for are concealed behind a soggy gray curtain. Darker clouds line the horizon, and Tarver glances over his shoulder to track their movement. I'm looking over my shoulder, too, but but there's nothing for me to read in the weather patterns. I simply can't keep myself from searching for the sources of the sounds I keep hearing.  -- Chapter 18, page147

"Wreckage," I whisper, staring at it, trying not to believe it's what I think it is. "It's a piece of the ship that landed there. Another crashed escape pod."

Tarver slowly lets his arm fall, but doesn't shift away again. He's staring at the thing, too. "I don't think so." His voice is quiet, too, barely audible over the wind. "It's hard to tell, but I think the trees around it are cleared, uniform."

I realize I'm holding my breath.

"I think it's a building."

-- Chapter 26, page 232

The story behind this book is a sweet one. It was a birthday present from my hubby, about three years ago. Yes, I know....I really should have read it by now! Tell me about it! And it includes romance, too! Well, here's yet another New Year's resolution! Lol. (That dress.....that flowing read hair....I REALLY should be ashamed of myself! Lol.)

What do you think of my teasers?
